It should be investigated like other crimes. If someone was found to have intentionally created this situation, they would be held liable. In lieu of that, leadership should be held liable, or at a minimum the corporation should face massive financial penalties (on the order of XX% operating revenue).

The law doesn't prevent anything. There would be an investigation like any other and the activity of the disgruntled employee would be uncovered.
